"Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIOOwhmkoLo

When the synth part comes in at 15 seconds, it sounds just like a dance song from what I believe to be the 90s. The only lyrics I can remember are "Cal-hall me. Caaall meeee" repeated.

Google of "Call me" (and various variations) only comes up with Blondie and Franz Ferdinand.

I know someone knows the song I'm thinking of.

Yup haha That's what I get for mishearing lyrics.

...and that's what Eric Prydz gets for not enunciating clearly.

Also, aren't I totally right in hearing that Party Rock Anthem almost ripped that synth part from Call on Me?

It's made me think of it a couple of times, but I wouldn't say it's been ripped off. Just very similar.

Both terrible

Glad I didn't post my guess, I was way off.

It's very similar, but then again, it's a rather ambiguous synth track to begin with.

Lol, that song is hilarious,.

This guy claims he's repping a crew, that's hilarious.

And he keeps saying he's rockn'roll. :facepalm:

It's actually Steve Winwood singing it, the one who made the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbKNICg-REA&ob=av2e. Of course many people have no idea how many 'new' tracks are just unimaginative crap remixes of old songs. "Stole the synth part from Eric Prydz"? Yeah, if he hadn't stolen- sorry, 'remixed' it from Steve Winwood (who I think is a total prat, incidentally).

Oooh, cool. Thanks for clearing that up. I know dance songs frequently sample vocal parts like that. I just figured something like "call on me" could be something he came up with on his own.

That's like the following:

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GQjYPWDcmg&ob=av3e'" is the Grammy Award–winning third single taken from Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor album and features soul singer Jill Scott and music from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, the Danse de Cygnes. The single is based around a sample of "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HsLv4VQvUI" by I Monster, a song that samples "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xNJhqfby-Q" by Gunter Kallman Choir (which in itself is a cover, the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AqR00loT9k.
